It started really strong, we will see if it has 16 episodes potential or gets boring fast.
Very fast paced. 1st episode, which is basically an introduction to the lore/story, could easily be like 2-3 episodes, so I hope they will keep such pace up.

I haven't seen CLOY (yet) but I agree with everything else. I really liked the overall character development (for all mains) but have to things that bothered me a lot:
- lack of "cinematic filter" bothered me for a couple of episodes, but I've got used to it
- motivation on why FL is fascinated/fall in love with ML is not shown in the best way
- ML mother, especially at the end (gate scene), it was so not believable for me (or maybe it was intentional so not everything is so sweet at the end)

Nevertheless solid drama that is still worth watching after 12 years.

Got hooked after 4 episodes. Will wait for all episodes to be out and binge watch it. Due to this waiting I was forgetting the characters :)

I know and I wish my brain works that way, but once I've invested that much time already, I will have to finish it. But I might fast forward parts of it.

I've started it just after He is Psychometric and expected something this series apparently is not. I miss character development so much. Everyone is so 1-dimensional so far. Except the guy who is "working for" villain , the best character for me.

This is just getting more ridiculous. Lets make a great plan, check and verify all the allies only to wear face masks in the "command center" that is in other building far away with no proper backup and monitoring . There is no reason for anyone to have a mask during the whole operation if everyone has been vetted and it is imperative to recognize the culprit. Episode 10 if someone wonders.

This might be a contender for my first review on this site as 8.4 rating seems like a joke to me (it is the same feeling I had watching "W").

I'm half way through this series, and story and premise is great but ML and FL are so dumb (albeit chemistry between them is quite good). They are acting like they are twelve not a proper police officers. They have zero restrain, they say and do whatever they like and behave like they know best and they don't need to listen to anyone. And not calling for backup and acting alone is just a cherry on top. And also don't forget about touching evidence at the crime scene without gloves, this just makes me cringe... Who behaves like that, how can one identify with such characters?

If not for the story I would probably drop it already. It is on mediocre lane at best and could be so much more. Disappointed so far :/

Thank you, that make sense. The "one love doesn't have to be forever" part actually explained everything to me. I don't know why I've assumed it must be eternal wit a single person when it clearly doesn't have to be. We can have multiple soulmates.
That makes this move even better :)

But why is that? Was string between Charcoal and Mi a mistake? He was in love with her for like 15+ years so why would Pinky be his love now?
Or maybe it is because we don't have one love for an eternity and every life we can have a different soulmate? (this sounds dumb to be honest :) )

Ok, I'm confused by the ending.
1. Was red string between SXL (Charcoal) and Mi just a mistake and real fate form him was HWZ (Pinky)? The scene at the end when he was reattaching a string from his chest to her didn't make much sense for me.
2. Who is the old couple in the elevator scene? Charcoal and Pinky?
3. This Pinky scene before she gets to the elevator, what are they referencing saying "Who told you that?" . Told what?
4. And those two kids arguing in the vet at the end were supposed to be Charcoal and Pinky reincarnated? I honestly doubt that considering the age of the kids, but it was again confusing, so I'm not sure what to think about that scene.

Maybe there are no direct/real answers and we should make the ending as we think is right but still, maybe I've missed something obvious. Or maybe eng subs were not good enough and made things difficult to understand.

It was quite a good movie worth watching. I still have some questions. See spoiler below.

I soooo much agree with this review. "Unhealthy possessiveness" sums it up for me. Last 2 episodes are a joke. It is like lets have happy ending, but not so happy and confuse the audience. I'm not saying everything should be laid out but as second leads had great growth as a couple, main ones had great chemistry but poor writing just killed them as a couple for me.

It had so much potential.

This was quite an experience. I'm not a fan of Taiwanese productions but this one is on another level. As of happy/sad ending discussion. I think it is happy, but probably not because LZW and HYX ended together romantically, but rather because they've stayed in each others lives as very close friends. My view is that If they've ended up as a couple it would not be at the point of extra ending scene but somewhere in the future, like 10+ years later from that scene (10 years age difference doesn't seem that much if you are closer to 40 ). But still, the sole fact they've stayed in each other lives, no matter in what way, makes this a happy ending for me. For sure it is not an open ending as some are suggesting.

Now I wonder what Korean version will be like. Maybe it will shed some light on some questions around the plot.
